Former members of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR), who were dismissed following the 2009 mutiny, started an indefinite sit-in at the Central Shaheed Minar on Tuesday morning, pressing for a six-point demand, including reinstatement.
The protesters, including dismissed BDR personnel and their families, began their demonstrations under the banner of the ‘BDR Welfare Council’ at 9:00 am. As of 4:20 pm, the protest was still ongoing, according to reports from our photographer.
They threatened to continue the movement until their demands are met.
